Terry Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 not a cheap boat maybe he could not afford numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiel Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Perhaps a local marine dealer water testing it. I don't think registration numbers can be issued until it's purchased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigdritchie Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 If it's the numbers you're referring to, then I wonder if someone was doing a photo shoot on the lake. If the manufacturer (or even a dealer) is doing photos for a catalogue or website, the boats never have numbers on them. You need to have the paperwork with you, and there's usually a manufacturer's number mounted on a board that you would normally place up on the dash. It's sort of like the boat equivalent of having a temporary permit in lieu of a license plate. This is definitely the time of year for it. Most manufacturers are doing their 2016 brochure photography right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misfish Posted June 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 One boat was loaded with fishing rods. Father son from what I could tell. As for the stanley, it came in, loaded up with fuel (like said) and left. No shoot going on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, but only Stanley dealer, is up the hwy from here. GBAY. Edited June 5, 2015 by Brian B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIFTER_016 Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) Up here they don't care whether your boat is registered or not. Tons of boats with no numbers here. Don't need one of those silly boaters cards either. And drinking while boating is encouraged not frowned upon!!!!

John Bacon Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) If I remember correctly, as long as you have applied for a license you can use the boat. I am pretty sure I had to wait for my license numbers for the Alumacraft that I bought in 1994. It would make sense that there would be a few people still waiting for numbers for new boats that they purchased this spring.

I thought you were given a number and you went and bought the numbers and just put them on. oh. I was gonna say downriggers and rod holders ? Yes Rick, that too.

John Bacon Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 I thought you were given a number and you went and bought the numbers and just put them on. Yes, that is pretty much how it works. But, you don't get the numbers on the same day that you apply for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
